(Unaudited)
1.    General

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented herein and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Iron Mountain Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("IMI"), and its subsidiaries ("we" or "us"), help organizations around the world protect their information, reduce storage rental costs, comply with regulations, facilitate corporate disaster recovery, and better use their information and information technology ("IT") infrastructure for business advantages, regardless of its format, location or life cycle stage. We do this by storing physical records and data backup media, offering information management solutions, and providing data center space for enterprise-class colocation and opportunistic hyperscale data center deployments. We offer comprehensive records and information management services and data management services, along with the expertise and experience to address complex storage and information management challenges such as rising storage rental costs, legal and regulatory compliance, and disaster recovery requirements. We provide secure and reliable data center facilities to protect digital information and ensure the continued operation of our customers’ IT infrastructure, with reliable and flexible deployment options.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, but we believe that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, which are included herein, should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 13, 2020 (our "Annual Report").

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. In January 2020, COVID-19 spread to other countries, including the United States, and the World Health Organization subsequently declared COVID-19 a pandemic. This resulted in U.S. federal, state and local and foreign governments and private entities mandating various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay-at-home orders and advisories and the quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus ("Mandated Restrictions"). In response, we temporarily closed certain of our offices and facilities across the world and implemented certain travel restrictions for our employees. While we have since reopened the majority of the offices and facilities that had been temporarily closed, Mandated Restrictions in certain locations and certain travel restrictions we have imposed for employees remain in place, which continue to disrupt how we operate our business. The preventative and protective actions that governments have ordered, or we have implemented as an organization, have resulted in a period of reduced operations and business disruption for us, our customers and other third parties with which we do business. The broader impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, including impacts to estimates used throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), remain uncertain and difficult to predict as information continues to rapidly evolve, and the severity and duration of the pandemic remains unknown, as is our visibility to its effect on the markets we serve and our customers within those markets. See Note 2.b. and Note 2.d. for additional information.

In October 2019, we announced our global program designed to better position us for future growth and achievement of our strategic objectives (“Project Summit”). The activities associated with Project Summit began in the fourth quarter of 2019 and are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2021. See Note 10.

We have been organized and have operated as a real estate investment trust for United States federal income tax purposes ("REIT") beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2014.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

This Note 2 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements provides information and disclosure regarding certain of our significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with Note 2 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report, which may provide additional information with regard to the accounting policies set forth herein and other of our significant accounting policies.

a.    Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash invested in highly liquid short-term securities, which have remaining maturities at the date of purchase of less than 90 days. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $6,429 and $4,865, respectively, of restricted cash held by certain financial institutions related to bank guarantees and required cash collateral.

b.    Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and Liabilities

Goodwill

Our reporting units as of December 31, 2019 are described in detail in Note 2.h. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report. The goodwill associated with acquisitions completed during the first six months of 2020 (which are described in Note 4) has been incorporated into our reporting units as they existed as of December 31, 2019. There were no other changes to the composition of our reporting units for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Since December 31, 2019, there have been no changes to our accounting polices related to the accounting for goodwill. As of December 31, 2019, no factors were identified that would alter our October 1, 2019 goodwill impairment analysis. During the first quarter of 2020, we concluded that we had a triggering event related to our Fine Arts reporting unit, requiring us to perform an interim goodwill impairment test. The primary factor contributing to our conclusion was the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to this particular business and its customers and revenue sources, which caused us to believe it was more likely than not that the carrying value of our Fine Arts reporting unit exceeded its fair value. During the first quarter of 2020, we performed an interim goodwill impairment test for our Fine Arts reporting unit utilizing a discounted cash flow model, with updated assumptions on future revenues, operating expenditures and capital expenditures. As a result of the interim goodwill impairment test, we concluded that the fair value of our Fine Arts reporting unit was less than its carrying value, and, therefore, we recorded a $23,000 impairment charge on the goodwill associated with this reporting unit during the first quarter of 2020. The remaining goodwill for this reporting unit subsequent to the impairment charge was approximately $15,000. Factors that may impact these assumptions include, but are not limited to: (i) our ability to maintain, or grow, storage rental and service revenues in line with current expectations and (ii) our ability to manage our fixed and variable costs in line with potential future revenue declines. Additionally, we concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, we did not have a triggering event requiring an interim impairment test on the goodwill associated with our other reporting units.

During the second quarter of 2020, no factors were identified that would alter our interim goodwill impairment analysis performed during the first quarter of 2020, or change the conclusions reached at that time. However, the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the related economic impact on both our business and the businesses of our customers, remain uncertain as of the filing of this Quarterly Report. Any material adverse changes to our businesses that negatively impact their fair values could result in future goodwill impairments.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

d.    Accounts Receivable

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 changes how entities will measure credit losses on most financial assets. The standard eliminates the probable initial recognition of estimated losses and provides a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivable, loans and other financial instruments.

Prior to our adoption of ASU 2016-13, we maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the potential inability of our customers to make required payments and potential disputes regarding billing and service issues. When calculating the allowance, we considered our past loss experience, current and prior trends in our aged receivables and credit memo activity, current economic conditions, and specific circumstances of individual receivable balances. If the financial condition of our customers were to significantly change, resulting in a significant improvement or impairment of their ability to make payments, an adjustment of the allowance might have been required. Additionally, we write off uncollectible balances as circumstances warrant, generally, no later than one year past due.

On January 1, 2020 we adopted ASU 2016-13 on a modified retrospective basis for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not result in a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In accordance with the guidance in ASU 2016-13, we now calculate and monitor our allowance considering future potential economic and macroeconomic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts for expected future collectability of our outstanding receivables, in addition to the factors identified above. Our considerations when calculating our allowance include, but are not limited to, the following: the location of our businesses, the composition of our customer base, our product and service lines, potential future economic unrest, and potential future macroeconomic factors, including natural disasters and any impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, such as bankruptcy of, and increased collectability risk from, some of our customers. Continued adjustments will be made should there be any material change to reasonable and supportable forecasts that may impact our likelihood of collection, as it becomes evident, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our financial assets measured at amortized cost that potentially subject us to credit risk consist predominantly of our accounts receivable. Our highly diverse global customer base, with no single customer accounting for more than 1% of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2020, limits our exposure to concentration of credit risk. However, the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting numerous industries and geographies globally. We continue to monitor the credit worthiness of our customers, customer payment trends and the adequacy of our bad debt allowance as the pandemic continues.

The rollforward of allowance for doubtful accounts and credit memo reserves for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is as follows:
 
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Credit Memo Reserves

f.    Stock-Based Compensation

We record stock-based compensation expense, utilizing the straight-line method, for the cost of stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance units ("PUs") and shares of stock issued under our employee stock purchase plan (collectively, "Employee Stock-Based Awards"). There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies, assumptions and valuation methodologies related to the accounting for our Employee Stock-Based Awards as disclosed in Note 2.n. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report.

g.    Income (Loss) Per Share—Basic and Diluted

Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share is consistent with that of basic income (loss) per share but gives effect to all potential common shares (that is, securities such as stock options, RSUs, PUs, warrants or convertible securities) that were outstanding during the period, unless the effect is antidilutive.

The calculation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

h.    Income Taxes

We provide for income taxes during interim periods based on our estimate of the effective tax rate for the year. Discrete items and changes in our estimate of the annual effective tax rate are recorded in the period they occur. Our effective tax rate is subject to variability in the future due to, among other items: (1) changes in the mix of income between our qualified REIT subsidiaries ("QRSs") and our domestic taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), as well as among the jurisdictions in which we operate; (2) tax law changes; (3) volatility in foreign exchange gains and losses; (4) the timing of the establishment and reversal of tax reserves; and (5) our ability to utilize net operating losses that we generate.

Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:
 
Three Months Ended
June 30,
 
Six Months Ended

_______________________________________________________________

(1)
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we had a provision for income taxes of $9,683 and income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes of $2,570; as such, our effective tax rate is not meaningful.
(2)
The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% and our overall effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were the benefit derived from the dividends paid deduction and the impact of differences in the tax rates at which our foreign earnings are subject, including foreign exchange gains and losses in different jurisdictions with different tax rates.

(1)
Money market funds are measured based on quoted prices for similar assets and/or subsequent transactions. See Note 5 for additional information regarding our temporary investment in money market funds as of June 30, 2020.
(2)
These trading securities are measured at fair value using unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.
(3)
These trading securities are measured based on inputs that are observable, other than quoted market prices.
(4)
Derivative assets and liabilities include (i) interest rate swap agreements, including forward-starting interest rate swap agreements, to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness and (ii) cross-currency swap agreements to hedge the variability of exchange rates impacts between the United States dollar and the Euro and certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries. Our derivative financial instruments are measured using industry standard valuation models using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves, forward and spot prices for currencies and implied volatilities. Credit risk is also factored into the determination of the fair value of our derivative financial instruments. See Note 3 for additional information on our derivative financial instruments.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Disclosures are required in the financial statements for items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. There were no material items that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, other than (i) those disclosed in Note 2.s. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report, (ii) those acquired in acquisitions that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2020, as described in Note 4, and (iii) the Fine Arts reporting unit, as described in Note 2.b., all of which are based on Level 3 inputs.

The fair value of our long-term debt, which is determined based on either Level 1 inputs or Level 3 inputs, is disclosed in Note 5 and is measured at cost in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

j.    Investments

During 2019, we contributed our customer contracts and certain intellectual property and other assets, including $20,000 in cash consideration (gross of certain transaction expenses), to MakeSpace Labs, Inc. to form a joint venture entity (the “MakeSpace JV”), a consumer storage services provider (the “Consumer Storage Transaction”). We account for our investment in the MakeSpace JV as an equity method investment, which is presented as a component of Other within Other assets, net in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

In the second quarter of 2020, we committed to participate in a round of equity funding for the MakeSpace JV whereby we will contribute $36,000 of the $45,000 being raised (the “Additional Investment”). Our first contribution of the Additional Investment of $7,000 was made in May 2020 (the “First Installment”). We will make the remaining contributions in quarterly installments through October 2021. After the First Installment, our equity interest in the MakeSpace JV increased to approximately 37%. After completion of the Additional Investment, we expect our equity interest in the MakeSpace JV will be approximately 46%. The carrying value of our investment in the MakeSpace JV at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $17,674 and $18,570, respectively.

l.    Gain on Disposal/Write-Down of Property, Plant and Equipment, Net

Consolidated gain on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $7,803. The gain for the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily consisted of gains associated with the sale of certain land and buildings in the United Kingdom of approximately $36,000 in the second quarter of 2019. These gains were partially offset by losses primarily associated with (i) an impairment charge on the assets associated with the select offerings within our Iron Mountain Iron Cloud portfolio of approximately $24,000 and (ii) the write-down of certain property, plant and equipment in our Global RIM (as defined in Note 6) Business segment of approximately $3,100.

(3)
Other, net for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily comprised of losses on certain of our equity method investments, partially offset by a gain on our previously held 25% equity investment in OSG Records Management (Europe) Limited ("OSG"), as more fully discussed in Note 4.

n.    New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which makes a number of changes meant to add, modify or remove certain disclosure requirements associated with the movement of our financial assets and liabilities among the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. We adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13. We adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 on a modified retrospective basis. See Note 2.d. for information regarding the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

o.    Change in Presentation

We have historically classified our significant acquisition costs which represent operating expenditures associated with (1) the acquisition of Recall Holdings Limited ("Recall") that we completed on May 2, 2016 (the "Recall Transaction"), including: (i) advisory and professional fees to complete the Recall Transaction; (ii) costs associated with the divestments required in connection with receipt of regulatory approvals (including transitional services); and (iii) costs to integrate Recall with our existing operations, including moving, severance, facility upgrade, REIT integration and system upgrade costs, as well as certain costs associated with our shared service center initiative for our finance, human resources and information technology functions; and (2) the advisory and professional fees to complete the acquisition of IODC (collectively, "Significant Acquisition Costs"), as components of Selling, general and administrative expenses and Cost of sales. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019, we present Significant Acquisition Costs as its own line item within Operating Expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The prior periods have been conformed to this presentation.

The following table sets forth the effect of the change in presentation of Significant Acquisition Costs to certain line items of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019:

3.    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Derivative instruments we are party to include: (i) interest rate swap agreements (which are designated as cash flow hedges) and (ii) cross-currency swap agreements (which are designated as net investment hedges).

Interest Rate Swap Agreements Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

In March 2018, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $350,000 in notional value of interest rate swap agreements outstanding, which expire in March 2022. Under the interest rate swap agreements, we receive variable rate interest payments associated with the notional amount of each interest rate swap, based upon one-month LIBOR, in exchange for the payment of fixed interest rate payments (at the fixed interest rate specified in the interest rate swap agreements).

In July 2019, we entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness once our current interest rate swap agreements expire in March 2022. The forward-starting interest rate swap agreements have $350,000 in notional value, commence in March 2022 and expire in March 2024. Under the swap agreements we will receive variable rate interest payments based upon one-month LIBOR, in exchange for the payment of fixed interest rate payments at the rates specified in the interest rate swap agreements.

We have designated these interest rate swap agreements, including the forward-starting interest rate swap agreements, as cash flow hedges. Unrealized gains are recognized as assets while unrealized losses are recognized as liabilities. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had a derivative liability of $24,404 and $8,774, respectively, which was recorded as a component of Other long-term liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have recorded the change in fair value of the interest rate swap agreements as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive items, net in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Unrealized losses associated with these cash flow hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:
 
Three Months Ended June 30,
 
Six Months Ended June 30,

As of June 30, 2020, cumulative net losses of $24,404 are recorded within Accumulated other comprehensive items, net associated with these cash flow hedges.

3.    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Continued)

Net Investment Hedges

a.    Cross-Currency Swap Agreements Designated as a Hedge of Net Investment

In August 2019, we entered into cross-currency swap agreements to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the United States dollar and the Euro. Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreements, we notionally exchanged approximately $110,000 at an interest rate of 6.0% for approximately 99,055 Euros at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.65%. The cross-currency swap agreements, which expire in August 2023, are designated as a hedge of net investment against certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries and require an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity. The cross-currency swaps are marked to market at each reporting period and any changes in fair value are recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive items, net. Unrealized gains are recognized as assets while unrealized losses are recognized as liabilities. At June 30, 2020, we had a derivative asset of $3,326, which was recorded as a component of Other within Other assets, net and at December 31, 2019, we had a derivative liability of $982, which was recorded as a component of Other long-term liabilities, net in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts represent the fair value of the cross-currency swap agreements.

Unrealized losses (gains) associated with these cross-currency swap agreements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 is as follows:
 
Three Months Ended

Six Months Ended
June 30, 2020

(4,308
)


As of June 30, 2020, cumulative net gains of $3,326 are recorded within Accumulated other comprehensive items, net associated with this net investment hedge.

b.    Euro Notes Designated as a Hedge of Net Investment

In addition, we have designated a portion of our Euro Notes as a hedge of net investment of certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we designated, on average, 300,000 and 274,161 Euros, respectively, of our Euro Notes as a hedge of net investment of certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries. As a result, we record foreign exchange (gains) losses related to the change in fair value of such debt due to currency translation adjustments as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive items, net.

Foreign exchange losses (gains) associated with this hedge of net investment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:
 
Three Months Ended June 30,
 
Six Months Ended June 30,

4.    Acquisitions

We account for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities acquired are recorded at their estimated fair values and the results of operations for each acquisition have been included in our consolidated results from their respective acquisition dates.

Prior to January 9, 2020, we owned a 25% equity interest in OSG. On January 9, 2020, we acquired the remaining 75% equity interest in OSG for cash consideration of approximately $95,500 (the "OSG Acquisition"). The OSG Acquisition enabled us to extend our Global RIM Business in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Armenia. The results of OSG are fully consolidated within our condensed consolidated financial statements from the closing date of the OSG Acquisition. In connection with the OSG Acquisition, our previously held 25% equity investment in OSG was remeasured to fair value at the closing date of the OSG Acquisition which resulted in us recording a gain of approximately $10,000 during the first quarter of 2020, which is included as a component of Other (income) expense, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the 25% equity investment in OSG was determined based on the purchase price of the OSG Acquisition.

On February 17, 2020, in order to enhance our existing operations in the United Arab Emirates, we acquired Glenbeigh Records Management DWC-LLC, a storage and records management company, for total cash consideration of 107,000 United Arab Emirates dirham (or approximately $29,100, based upon the exchange rate between the United Arab Emirates dirham and the United States dollar on the closing date of the acquisition).

(1)
Included in cash paid for acquisitions in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is net cash acquired of $6,545 and contingent and other payments of $443 related to acquisitions completed in 2019.
(2)
Consists primarily of leasehold improvements, racking structures and warehouse equipment. These assets are depreciated using the straight-line method with the useful lives as noted in Note 2.f. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report.
(3)
The goodwill associated with acquisitions is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce, expanded market opportunities and costs and other operating synergies anticipated upon the integration of the operations of us and the acquired businesses.

See Note 6 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report for additional information regarding our allocations of the purchase price for acquisitions. The preliminary purchase price allocations that are not finalized as of June 30, 2020 primarily relate to the final assessment of the fair values of intangible assets (primarily customer relationship intangible assets), property, plant and equipment (primarily racking structures) and income taxes (primarily deferred income taxes), associated with the acquisitions we closed in 2020.

As the valuation of certain assets and liabilities for purposes of purchase price allocations are preliminary in nature, they are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances regarding these assets and liabilities that existed at the acquisition date. Any adjustments to our estimates of purchase price allocation will be made in the periods in which the adjustments are determined, and the cumulative effect of such adjustments will be calculated as if the adjustments had been completed as of the acquisition dates. Adjustments recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were not material to our results from operations.

(1)
Collectively, the credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement consists of a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a term loan (the "Term Loan A"). The Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on June 3, 2023. Of the $362,106 of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2020, $316,700 was denominated in United States dollars, 9,400 was denominated in Canadian dollars and 34,300 was denominated in Euros. In addition, we also had various outstanding letters of credit totaling $3,197. The remaining amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2020 was $1,384,697 (which amount represents the maximum availability as of such date). The average interest rate in effect under the Credit Agreement was 1.9% as of June 30, 2020. The average interest rate in effect under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2020 was 1.9% and the interest rate in effect under Term Loan A as of June 30, 2020 was 1.9%.
(2)
Consists of an incremental term loan B borrowed by IMI's wholly owned subsidiary, Iron Mountain Information Management, LLC, with an original principal amount of $700,000 (the "Term Loan B"). The Term Loan B is scheduled to mature on January 2, 2026. The interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2020 was 1.9%.

June 2020 Offerings

On June 22, 2020, IMI completed private offerings of (i) $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 5% Notes, (ii) $1,300,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 51/4% Notes due 2030 and (iii) $600,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 55/8% Notes (collectively, the "June 2020 Offerings"). The 5% Notes, the 51/4% Notes due 2030 and the 55/8% Notes were issued at 100.000% of par. The total net proceeds of approximately $2,376,000 from the June 2020 Offerings, after deducting the initial purchasers' commissions, were used to redeem all of the 43/8% Notes, the 6% Notes due 2023 and the 53/4% Notes and to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. Pending the redemption of the 53/4% Notes, as of June 30, 2020, a portion of the proceeds from the June 2020 Offerings were used to temporarily repay outstanding borrowings under our Accounts Receivable Securitization Program and invest in money market funds.

On June 29, 2020, we redeemed all of the $500,000 in aggregate principal outstanding of the 43/8% Notes at 100.000% of par and all of the $600,000 in aggregate principal outstanding of the 6% Notes due 2023 at 102.000% of par, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. We recorded a charge of $17,040 to Other expense (income), net during the second quarter of 2020 related to the early extinguishment of this debt, representing the call premium associated with the early redemption of the 6% Notes due 2023, as well as a write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the early redemption of the 43/8% Notes and the 6% Notes due 2023.

On July 2, 2020, we redeemed all of the outstanding 53/4% Notes at 100.958% of par, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. A debt extinguishment charge of approximately $15,300 will be recorded to Other expense (income), net during the third quarter of 2020 related to the extinguishment of this debt representing the call premium and write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

On March 31, 2020, we amended the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program to (i) increase the maximum amount available from $275,000 to $300,000 and (ii) extend the maturity date from July 30, 2020 to July 30, 2021, at which point all obligations become due. As a result, the full amount outstanding is classified within the long-term portion of long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2020. The interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2020 was 1.1%. The full amount outstanding under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program is classified within the current portion of long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019. The maximum available borrowings is limited by eligible accounts receivable, as defined under the terms of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.

Cash Pooling

As described in greater detail in Note 4 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report, certain of our subsidiaries participate in cash pooling arrangements (the “Cash Pools”) in order to help manage global liquidity requirements. We currently utilize two separate Cash Pools, one of which we utilize to manage global liquidity requirements for our QRSs (the "QRS Cash Pool") and the other for our TRSs (the "TRS Cash Pool").

Letters of Credit

As of June 30, 2020, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $33,596, of which $3,197 reduce our borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility (as described above). The letters of credit expire at various dates between September 2020 and January 2033.

Debt Covenants

The Credit Agreement, our bond indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness contain certain restrictive financial and operating covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to complete acquisitions, pay cash dividends, incur indebtedness, make investments, sell assets and take certain other corporate actions. The covenants do not contain a rating trigger. Therefore, a change in our debt rating would not trigger a default under the Credit Agreement, our bond indentures or other agreements governing our indebtedness. The Credit Agreement requires that we satisfy a fixed charge coverage ratio, a net total lease adjusted leverage ratio and a net secured debt lease adjusted leverage ratio on a quarterly basis and our bond indentures require that, among other things, we satisfy a leverage ratio (not lease adjusted) or a fixed charge coverage ratio (not lease adjusted), as a condition to taking actions such as paying dividends and incurring indebtedness.

The Credit Agreement uses EBITDAR-based calculations and the bond indentures use EBITDA-based calculations as the primary measures of financial performance for purposes of calculating leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The bond indenture EBITDA-based calculations include our consolidated subsidiaries, other than those we have designated as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries” as defined in the bond indentures. Generally, the Credit Agreement and the bond indentures use a trailing four fiscal quarter basis for purposes of the relevant calculations and require certain adjustments and exclusions for purposes of those calculations which make the calculation of financial performance for purposes of those calculations under the Credit Agreement and bond indentures not directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein. We are in compliance with our leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios under the Credit Agreement, our bond indentures and other agreements as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Noncompliance with these leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

6.    Segment Information (Continued)

The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as those described in Note 2 and in Note 2 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report. Adjusted EBITDA for each segment is defined as (loss) income from continuing operations before interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and also excludes certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results, specifically: (1) (gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net (including real estate); (2) intangible impairments; (3) other expense (income), net (which includes foreign currency transaction (gains) losses, net, and debt extinguishment expense); (4) Significant Acquisition Costs; (5) Restructuring Charges (as defined in Note 10); and (6) COVID-19 Costs (as defined below). Internally, we use Adjusted EBITDA as the basis for evaluating the performance of, and allocating resources to, our operating segments.

A reconciliation of (Loss) Income from Continuing Operations to Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

7.    Commitments and Contingencies

We are involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business. A portion of the defense and/or settlement costs associated with such litigation is covered by various commercial liability insurance policies purchased by us and, in limited cases, indemnification from third parties. There have been no material updates or changes to our accounting policies related to the accounting for commitments and contingencies or to the matters disclosed in Note 10 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report. We believe that the resolution of the matters disclosed in Note 10 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We have estimated a reasonably possible range for all loss contingencies, including those disclosed in Note 10 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report and believe it is reasonably possible that we could incur aggregate losses in addition to amounts currently accrued for all matters up to an additional $6,000 over the next several years, of which certain amounts would be covered by insurance or indemnity arrangements.
 
8.    Stockholders' Equity Matters

Our board of directors has adopted a dividend policy under which we have paid, and in the future intend to pay, quarterly cash dividends on our common stock. The amount and timing of future dividends will continue to be subject to the approval of our board of directors, in its sole discretion, and to applicable legal requirements.

In fiscal year 2019 and the first six months of 2020, our board of directors declared the following dividends:

At The Market (ATM) Equity Program

As described in greater detail in Note 12 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report, in October 2017, we entered into a distribution agreement with a syndicate of 10 banks (the “Agents”) pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $500,000 of our common stock through the Agents (the “At The Market (ATM) Equity Program”). There were no shares of common stock sold under the At The Market (ATM) Equity Program during the six months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the remaining aggregate sale price of shares of our common stock available for distribution under the At The Market (ATM) Equity Program was approximately $431,200.

In connection with the Consumer Storage Transaction (as described in Note 2.j.), we entered into a storage and service agreement with the MakeSpace JV to provide certain storage and related services to the MakeSpace JV (the “MakeSpace Agreement”).

Revenues and expenses associated with the MakeSpace Agreement are presented as a component of our Global RIM Business segment. We recognized approximately $7,100 and $13,900 of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and approximately $7,400 and $7,900 of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, associated with the MakeSpace Agreement.

10.    Project Summit

In October 2019, we announced Project Summit. Project Summit focuses on simplifying our global structure by combining our core records and information management operations under one global leader and rebalancing our resources, streamlining managerial structures and leveraging our global and regional customer facing resources. As part of Project Summit, we are also implementing systems and process changes designed to make our organization more agile and dynamic, streamline our organization and reallocate our resources to better align with our strategic goals. Since Project Summit was announced, we have identified additional opportunities to streamline our business and operations, as well as accelerated the timing of certain opportunities previously identified. Such opportunities include leveraging new technology solutions to enable us to modernize our service delivery model and more efficiently utilize our fleet, labor and real estate, which has broadened the initial scope of Project Summit.

The activities associated with Project Summit began in the fourth quarter of 2019 and are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2021. Including the expanded scope of Project Summit, we estimate that the implementation of Project Summit will result in total costs of approximately $450,000, which includes (1) operating expenditures (“Restructuring Charges”) that primarily consist of: (i) employee severance costs; (ii) internal costs associated with the development and implementation of Project Summit initiatives; (iii) professional fees, primarily related to third party consultants who are assisting with the design and execution of various initiatives as well as project management activities and (iv) system implementation and data conversion costs, and (2) capital expenditures. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred $39,298 and $80,344, respectively, of Restructuring Charges, primarily related to employee severance costs, internal costs associated with the development and implementation of Project Summit initiatives and professional fees.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, included herein, and our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 13, 2020 (our "Annual Report").

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We have made statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Quarterly Report") that constitute "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. These forward-looking statements concern our operations, economic performance, financial condition, goals, beliefs, future growth strategies, investment objectives, plans and current expectations, such as our (1) commitment to future dividend payments, (2) expected change in volume of records stored with us, (3) expectations that profits will increase in our growth portfolio, including our higher-growth markets, and that our growth portfolio will become a larger part of our business over time, (4) expectations related to our revenue management programs and continuous improvement initiatives, (5) expectations related to our leverage ratio and capital requirements, (6) expected ability to identify and complete acquisitions and drive returns on invested capital, (7) anticipated capital expenditures, (8) expectations and assumptions regarding the possible impact from the COVID-19 (as defined below) pandemic on us and our customers, including on our businesses, financial position, results of operations and cash flows and the goodwill associated with our reporting units, (9) expected benefits, costs and actions related to, and timing of, Project Summit (as defined and discussed below) and (10) statements regarding the durability of our core storage business. These forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors.

the impact of service interruptions or equipment damage and the cost of power on our data center operations;
changes in the cost of our debt;
the impact of alternative, more attractive investments on dividends;
the cost or potential liabilities associated with real estate necessary for our business;

42


the performance of business partners upon whom we depend for technical assistance or management expertise; and
other trends in competitive or economic conditions affecting our financial condition or results of operations not presently contemplated.

Additional risks and facts that may affect us, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, are set forth in our filings with the SEC, including under "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on May 7, 2020 (the "March 31, 2020 Quarterly Report") and our Annual Report.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements except as statements of our present intentions and of our present expectations, which may or may not occur. You should read these cautionary statements as being applicable to all forward-looking statements wherever they appear. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to release publicly the result of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures we have made in this Quarterly Report, as well as our other periodic reports filed with the SEC including under "Risk Factors" in the March 31, 2020 Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report.

Overview

The following discussions set forth, for the periods indicated, management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. Significant trends and changes are discussed for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 within each section.

COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. In January 2020, COVID-19 spread to other countries, including the United States, and the World Health Organization subsequently declared COVID-19 a pandemic. This resulted in U.S. federal, state and local and foreign governments and private entities mandating various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay-at-home orders and advisories and the quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus ("Mandated Restrictions"). In response, we temporarily closed certain of our offices and facilities across the world and implemented certain travel restrictions for our employees. While we have since reopened the majority of the offices and facilities that had been temporarily closed, Mandated Restrictions in certain locations and certain travel restrictions we have imposed for employees remain in place, which continue to disrupt how we operate our business. The preventative and protective actions that governments have ordered, or we have implemented as an organization, have resulted in a period of reduced operations and business disruption for us, our customers and other third parties with which we do business. The effects of the pandemic, including the effects on the economy and the preventative and protective actions taken to date, have included, but are not limited to: (i) declines in our service revenues; (ii) higher operating costs and reduced leverage associated with labor, vehicle and facility costs for service operations that are not being fully utilized, and (iii) limited delays in cash collections and increased bad debt expense due to bankruptcy of, and increased collectability risk from, some of our customers. We have not made any adjustments for these impacts in our reported results or in calculating our various non-GAAP measures (as described below). We have also incurred other costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic which are direct, incremental and not expected to recur once the pandemic ends, primarily associated with the purchase of personal protective equipment for our employees, increased cleaning costs and legal and professional fees. We have excluded these costs in calculating our various non-GAAP measures. The broader impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows remain uncertain and difficult to predict as information continues to rapidly evolve, and the severity and duration of the pandemic remains unknown, as is our visibility to its effect on the markets we serve and our customers within those markets.

Project Summit

In October 2019, we announced our global program designed to better position us for future growth and achievement of our strategic objectives ("Project Summit"). Project Summit focuses on simplifying our global structure by combining our core records and information management operations under one global leader and rebalancing our resources, streamlining managerial structures and leveraging our global and regional customer facing resources. As part of Project Summit, we are also implementing systems and process changes designed to make our organization more agile and dynamic, streamline our organization and reallocate our resources to better align with our strategic goals. Since Project Summit was announced, we have identified additional opportunities to streamline our business and operations, as well as accelerated the timing of certain opportunities previously identified. Such opportunities include leveraging new technology solutions to enable us to modernize our service delivery model and more efficiently utilize our fleet, labor and real estate, which has broadened the initial scope of Project Summit.

43


The activities associated with Project Summit began in the fourth quarter of 2019 and are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2021. We expect the total program benefits associated with Project Summit to be fully realized exiting 2021. Including the expanded scope of Project Summit described above, we estimate that Project Summit will improve annual Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) by approximately $375.0 million exiting 2021, an increase from our original estimate of $200.0 million. In addition, we expect Project Summit to improve annual Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $150.0 million in 2020, an increase from our original estimate of $80.0 million. We will continue to evaluate our overall operating model, as well as various opportunities and initiatives, including those associated with real estate consolidation, system implementation and process changes, which could result in the identification and implementation of additional actions associated with Project Summit and incremental costs and benefits.

Including the expanded scope of Project Summit described above, we estimate that the implementation of Project Summit will result in total costs of approximately $450.0 million, a $210.0 million increase from our original estimate of $240.0 million, of which we expect to incur $240.0 million in 2020. These costs include (1) operating expenditures ("Restructuring Charges") that primarily consist of: (i) employee severance costs; (ii) internal costs associated with the development and implementation of Project Summit initiatives; (iii) professional fees, primarily related to third party consultants who are assisting with the design and execution of various initiatives as well as project management activities and (iv) system implementation and data conversion costs, and (2) capital expenditures. The following table presents (in thousands) the total costs related to Project Summit, comprised of Restructuring Charges (primarily related to employee severance costs, internal costs associated with the development and implementation of Project Summit initiatives and professional fees) and capital expenditures for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and from the inception of Project Summit through June 30, 2020.

See Note 10 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for more information on the Restructuring Charges.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, as a result of the realignment of our global managerial structure and changes to our internal financial reporting associated with Project Summit, we reassessed the composition of our reportable operating segments and reporting units, as discussed in Note 2.h. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report. As a result of the managerial structure changes associated with Project Summit, we have the following reportable operating segments: (i) Global Records and Information Management ("Global RIM") Business (which consists of our former North American Records and Information Management Business (excluding our technology escrow services business, which is included as a component of our Corporate and Other Business), North American Data Management Business, Western European Business and Other International Business segments); (ii) Global Data Center Business; and (iii) Corporate and Other Business (which includes our Adjacent Businesses and our technology escrow services business). As a result of these changes, previously reported segment information has been restated to conform to the current presentation.

Change in Presentation

We have historically classified our significant acquisition costs which represent operating expenditures associated with (1) the acquisition of Recall Holdings Limited ("Recall") that we completed on May 2, 2016 (the "Recall Transaction"), including: (i) advisory and professional fees to complete the Recall Transaction; (ii) costs associated with the divestments required in connection with receipt of regulatory approvals (including transitional services); and (iii) costs to integrate Recall with our existing operations, including moving, severance, facility upgrade, REIT integration and system upgrade costs, as well as certain costs associated with our shared service center initiative for our finance, human resources and information technology functions; and (2) the advisory and professional fees to complete the acquisition of IO Data Centers, LLC ("IODC") (collectively, "Significant Acquisition Costs"), as components of Selling, general and administrative expenses and Cost of sales. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019, we present Significant Acquisition Costs as its own line item within Operating Expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The prior periods have been confirmed to this presentation.

There were no Significant Acquisition Costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 as all of the costs associated with the Recall Transaction and IODC were incurred as of December 31, 2019. Significant Acquisition Costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were approximately $1.9 million and $4.6 million, respectively.

General

Our revenues consist of storage rental revenues as well as service revenues and are reflected net of sales and value added taxes. Storage rental revenues, which are considered a key driver of financial performance for the storage and information management services industry, primarily consist of recurring periodic rental charges related to the storage of materials or data (generally on a per unit basis) that are typically retained by customers for many years, technology escrow services that protect and manage source code and revenues associated with our data center operations. Service revenues include charges for related service activities, the most significant of which include: (1) the handling of records, including the addition of new records, temporary removal of records from storage, refiling of removed records and courier operations, consisting primarily of the pickup and delivery of records upon customer request; (2) destruction services, consisting primarily of secure shredding of sensitive documents and the related sale of recycled paper, the price of which can fluctuate from period to period, and customer termination and permanent removal fees; (3) other services, including the scanning, imaging and document conversion services of active and inactive records and project revenues; and (4) consulting services. Our service revenue growth has been negatively impacted by declining activity rates as stored records are becoming less active. While customers continue to store their records and tapes with us, they are less likely than they have been in the past to retrieve records for research and other purposes, thereby reducing service activity levels.

Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) primarily consists of wages and benefits for field personnel, facility occupancy costs (including rent and utilities), transportation expenses (including vehicle leases and fuel), other product cost of sales and other equipment costs and supplies. Of these, wages and benefits and facility occupancy costs are the most significant. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of wages and benefits for management, administrative, IT, sales, account management and marketing personnel, as well as expenses related to communications and data processing, travel, professional fees, bad debts, training, office equipment and supplies.

Trends in facility occupancy costs are impacted by the total number of facilities we occupy, the mix of properties we own versus properties we occupy under leases, fluctuations in per square foot occupancy costs, and the levels of utilization of these properties. Trends in total wages and benefits in dollars and as a percentage of total consolidated revenue are influenced by changes in headcount and compensation levels, achievement of incentive compensation targets, workforce productivity and variability in costs associated with medical insurance and workers' compensation.

The expansion of our international businesses has impacted the major cost of sales components and selling, general and administrative expenses. Our international operations are more labor intensive relative to revenue than our operations in North America and, therefore, labor costs are a higher percentage of international segment revenue. In addition, the overhead structure of our expanding international operations has generally not achieved the same level of overhead leverage as our North American operations, which may result in an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated revenue as our international operations become a larger percentage of our consolidated results.


45


Our consolidated revenues and expenses are subject to the net effect of foreign currency translation related to our operations outside the United States. It is difficult to predict the future fluctuations of foreign currency exchange rates and how those fluctuations will impact our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of the relative size of our international operations, these fluctuations may be material on individual balances. Our revenues and expenses from our international operations are generally denominated in the local currency of the country in which they are derived or incurred. Therefore, the impact of currency fluctuations on our operating income and operating margin is partially mitigated. In order to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, we compare the percentage change in the results from one period to another period in this report using constant currency presentation. The constant currency growth rates are calculated by translating the 2019 results at the 2020 average exchange rates. Constant currency growth rates are a non-GAAP measure.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as (loss) income from continuing operations before interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and also excludes certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results, specifically: (1) (gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net (including real estate); (2) intangible impairments; (3) other expense (income), net (which includes foreign currency transaction (gains) losses, net, and debt extinguishment expense); (4) Significant Acquisition Costs; (5) Restructuring Charges; and (6) COVID-19 Costs (as defined below). Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenues. We use multiples of current or projected Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with our discounted cash flow models to determine our estimated overall enterprise valuation and to evaluate acquisition targets. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide our current and potential investors with relevant and useful information regarding our ability to generate cash flows to support business investment. These measures are an integral part of the internal reporting system we use to assess and evaluate the operating performance of our business.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes both interest expense, net and the provision (benefit) for income taxes. These expenses are associated with our capitalization and tax structures, which we do not consider when evaluating the operating profitability of our core operations. Finally, Adjusted EBITDA does not include depreciation and amortization expenses, in order to eliminate the impact of capital investments, which we evaluate by comparing capital expenditures to incremental revenue generated and as a percentage of total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), such as operating income, (loss) income from continuing operations, net (loss) income or cash flows from operating activities from continuing operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP).

Adjusted EPS

Adjusted EPS is defined as reported earnings per share fully diluted from continuing operations excluding: (1) (gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net (including real estate); (2) intangible impairments; (3) other expense (income), net (which includes foreign currency transaction (gains) losses, net, and debt extinguishment expense); (4) Significant Acquisition Costs; (5) Restructuring Charges; (6) COVID-19 Costs; and (7) the tax impact of reconciling items and discrete tax items. Adjusted EPS includes income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. We do not believe these excluded items to be indicative of our ongoing operating results, and they are not considered when we are forecasting our future results. We believe Adjusted EPS is of value to our current and potential investors when comparing our results from past, present and future periods.

(1)
The difference between our effective tax rates and our structural tax rate (or adjusted effective tax rates) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is primarily due to (i) the reconciling items above, which impact our reported (loss) income from continuing operations before provision (benefit) for income taxes but have an insignificant impact on our reported provision (benefit) for income taxes and (ii) other discrete tax items. Our structural tax rate for purposes of the calculation of Adjusted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was 17.1% and 17.7%, respectively.

FFO (Nareit) and FFO (Normalized)

Funds from operations (“FFO”) is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") and us as net (loss) income excluding depreciation on real estate assets, gains on sale of real estate, net of tax and amortization of data center leased-based intangibles ("FFO (Nareit)"). FFO (Nareit) does not give effect to real estate depreciation because these amounts are computed, under GAAP, to allocate the cost of a property over its useful life. Because values for well-maintained real estate assets have historically increased or decreased based upon prevailing market conditions, we believe that FFO (Nareit) provides investors with a clearer view of our operating performance. Our most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO (Nareit) is net (loss) income. Although Nareit has published a definition of FFO, modifications to FFO (Nareit) are common among REITs as companies seek to provide financial measures that most meaningfully reflect their particular business. Our definition of FFO (Normalized) excludes certain items included in FFO (Nareit) that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results, specifically: (1) (gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment (excluding real estate), net; (2) intangible impairments; (3) other expense (income), net (which includes foreign currency transaction (gains) losses, net, and debt extinguishment expense); (4) real estate financing lease depreciation; (5) Significant Acquisition Costs; (6) Restructuring Charges; (7) COVID-19 Costs; (8) the tax impact of reconciling items and discrete tax items; (9) (income) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax; and (10) (gain) loss on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and for the period then ended. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the estimates used. We base our estimates on historical experience, actuarial estimates, current conditions and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Our critical accounting policies include the following, which are listed in no particular order:
Revenue Recognition
Accounting for Acquisitions
Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets
Income Taxes

Further detail regarding our critical accounting policies can be found in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report, and the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes included therein and should be read in conjunction with the disclosure below which addresses updates in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets not subject to amortization: Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Other than goodwill, we currently have no intangible assets that have indefinite lives and which are not amortized. We have selected October 1 as our annual goodwill impairment review date. We performed our annual goodwill impairment review as of October 1, 2019 and concluded that as of October 1, 2019 goodwill was not impaired. As of December 31, 2019, no factors were identified that would alter our October 1, 2019 goodwill impairment analysis. Our reporting units as of December 31, 2019 are described in detail in Note 2.h. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report. The goodwill associated with acquisitions completed during the first six months of 2020 (which are described in Note 4 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report) has been incorporated into our reporting units as they existed as of December 31, 2019. There were no other changes to the composition of our reporting units for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

During the first quarter of 2020, we concluded that we had a triggering event related to our Fine Arts reporting unit, requiring us to perform an interim goodwill impairment test. The primary factor contributing to our conclusion was the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to this particular business and its customers and revenue sources, which caused us to believe it was more likely than not that the carrying value of our Fine Arts reporting unit exceeded its fair value. During the first quarter of 2020, we performed an interim goodwill impairment test for our Fine Arts reporting unit utilizing a discounted cash flow model, with updated assumptions on future revenues, operating expenditures and capital expenditures. As a result of the interim goodwill impairment test, we concluded that the fair value of the Fine Arts reporting unit was less than its carrying value, primarily due to near-term revenue declines that are unable to be fully mitigated by the cost reduction measures we have taken. Therefore, we recorded a $23.0 million impairment charge on the goodwill associated with this reporting unit during the first quarter of 2020. The remaining goodwill for this reporting unit subsequent to the impairment charge was approximately $15.0 million. As disclosed in our Annual Report, our Global Data Center reporting unit had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying value by less than 20%. At March 31, 2020, we determined we did not have a triggering event requiring an interim impairment test on the goodwill associated with our Global Data Center reporting unit. Additionally, we concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, we did not have a triggering event requiring an interim impairment test on the goodwill associated with our other reporting units. During the second quarter of 2020, no factors were identified that would alter our interim goodwill impairment analysis performed during the first quarter of 2020, or change the conclusions reached at that time.


50


Reporting unit valuations have generally been determined using a combined approach based on the present value of future cash flows (the “Discounted Cash Flow Model”) and market multiples. There are inherent uncertainties and judgments involved when determining the fair value of our reporting units for purposes of our annual impairment testing or upon a triggering event. The success of each of these businesses and the achievement of certain key assumptions developed by management and used in the Discounted Cash Flow Model are contingent upon various factors, which may be impacted by the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Such factors include, but are not limited to: (i) our ability to maintain, or grow, storage rental and service revenues in line with current expectations and (ii) our ability to manage our fixed and variable costs in line with potential future revenue declines. These factors are incremental to those previously outlined in our Annual Report, which included, but were not limited to: (i) achieving growth from existing customers, (ii) sales to new customers, (iii) increased market penetration and (iv) accurately timing the capital investments related to expansions. In addition, the discount rates utilized in our valuation models could be impacted by changes in the underlying interest rates and risk premiums which could also result in future goodwill impairments. However, the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the related economic impact on both our business and the businesses of our customers, remain uncertain as of the filing of this Quarterly Report. As such, the current assumptions we used in determining the fair values of our reporting units may materially change as we gain additional visibility into the impact to our business and our customers’ businesses. If our reporting units are not able to meet the assumptions we used in the Discounted Cash Flow Model, or there are any future adverse market conditions that are not currently known or are more severe than we currently expect, including relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, it could lead to a fair value that is less than the carrying value in any one of our reporting units and cause future goodwill impairments.

Constant currency growth rates are calculated by translating the 2019 results at the 2020 average exchange rates.
(2)
Our organic revenue growth rate, which is a non-GAAP measure, represents the year-over-year growth rate of our revenues excluding the impact of business acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Our organic revenue growth rate includes the impact of acquisitions of customer relationships.

Storage Rental Revenues

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the increase in reported consolidated storage rental revenues was driven by consolidated organic storage rental revenue growth and the favorable impact of acquisitions, partially offset by
unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The impact of acquisitions contributed 1.7% to the reported storage rental revenue growth rates for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by acquisitions in our Global RIM Business segment. While our core storage business remains durable in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced some decreases in new storage volume. Organic storage rental revenue growth of 2.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the prior year period was driven by organic storage rental revenue growth of 2.0% in our Global RIM Business segment primarily driven by revenue management. Organic storage rental revenue growth in our Global Data Center Business segment was 7.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the prior year period, primarily related to increased customer leasing activity. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, our Global RIM Business segment net volumes as of June 30, 2020 decreased by 1.1% over the ending volume as of June 30, 2019. Including the impact of acquisitions, our Global RIM Business segment net volumes as of June 30, 2020 increased by 2.1% over the ending volume as of June 30, 2019. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations decreased our reported storage rental revenue growth rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 by 2.2%, compared to the prior year period.


53


Service Revenues

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the decrease in reported consolidated service revenues was driven by organic service revenue declines and unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by the favorable impact of acquisitions. Our reported consolidated service revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2020 were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily due to decreases in our service activity, and particularly in regions where governments have imposed restrictions on non-essential business operations. In the three months ended June 30, 2020, organic service revenue declined 23.1% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by organic service revenue declines of 22.0% in our Global RIM Business segment. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, organic service revenue declined 12.8% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by organic service revenue declines of 12.0% in our Global RIM Business segment. The impact of acquisitions contributed 2.3% to the reported service revenue growth rates for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the prior year period. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations decreased our reported service revenue growth rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 by 1.9%, compared to the prior year period.

Total Revenues

For the reasons stated above, our reported consolidated revenues decreased $84.7 million, or 7.9%, to $982.2 million and $69.8 million, or 3.3%, to $2,051.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, from $1,066.9 million and $2,120.8 million for three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The impact of acquisitions contributed 1.9% to the reported consolidated revenue growth rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the prior year period. Consolidated organic revenue declined 3.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the prior year period. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations decreased our reported consolidated revenue growth rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 by 2.1%, compared to the prior year period.

During the past eight quarters, our organic storage rental revenue growth rate has ranged between 1.9% and 3.0%. Consolidated organic storage rental revenue growth and consolidated total organic revenue growth were benefited by (i) 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2019 related to a $1.7 million customer lease modification fee in our Global Data Center Business segment, (ii) 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2019 related to a $1.7 million customer lease modification fee in our Global Data Center Business segment and (iii) 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2019 related to a $2.0 million customer lease modification fee in our Global Data Center Business segment. Our organic storage rental revenue growth rates have increased over the past two fiscal years, as organic storage rental revenue growth for full year 2018 and 2019 was 2.4% and 2.5%, respectively. At various points in the economic cycle, organic storage rental revenue growth may be influenced by changes in pricing and volume. In 2018 and 2019, we experienced relatively steady net volume in our Global RIM Business segment, with organic storage rental revenue growth coming primarily from revenue management. While our core storage business remains durable in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced some decreases in new storage volume. The impact that the pandemic will have on our future organic storage rental revenue growth remains uncertain and will be dependent on the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. For the remainder of 2020 we expect organic storage rental revenue growth to approach the same levels we experienced in the second quarter of 2020.

The organic growth rate for service revenue is inherently more volatile than the organic growth rate for storage rental revenues due to the more discretionary nature of certain services we offer, such as large special projects, and, as a commodity, the volatility of pricing for recycled paper. These revenues, which are often event-driven and impacted to a greater extent by economic downturns as customers defer or cancel the purchase of certain services as a way to reduce their short-term costs, may be difficult to replicate in future periods. The organic growth rate for total service revenues over the past eight quarters reflects reduced retrieval/re-file activity and a related decrease in transportation revenues within our Global RIM Business segment. The increases in organic service revenue growth rates of 7.1% and 6.1% in the third and fourth quarters of 2018 reflect a strong contribution from our secure shredding business, which benefited from higher recycled paper prices, higher destruction activity and acquisitions of customer relationships. Organic service revenue growth declined to 1.8%, negative 2.0%, negative 3.0% and negative 0.7% for the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2019, respectively, reflecting declining recycled paper prices and moderation of destruction activity compared to previous quarters. Organic service revenue growth declined to negative 2.3% in the first quarter of 2020, reflecting continued weakness in recycled paper prices and to a lesser extent, recycled paper volume decline. In the second quarter of 2020, organic service revenue growth declined to negative 23.1%, significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily due to decreases in our service activity, particularly in regions where governments have imposed restrictions on non-essential business operations. The severity of future service level declines is uncertain and is dependent on the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting governmental and business actions and the duration and strength of any ensuing economic recovery that may follow, specifically within the markets in which we operate and among our customers. As restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic are relaxed, we expect our service activity levels to continue to gradually improve. We expect organic service revenue declines to slightly improve for the remainder of 2020.

OPERATING EXPENSES

COVID-19
A significant portion of our cost base is fixed, particularly with regard to our storage business. However, at lower service activity levels, we do have a number of options to manage our costs and capital expenditures. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken certain actions during the six months ended June 30, 2020, including, but not limited to: (i) the termination of nearly all of our temporary and contract workers; (ii) reductions in our full-time and part-time work forces; (iii) the introduction of furloughs, reduced hours or other temporary reduction measures impacting approximately one-third of our global workforce during the second quarter of 2020; (iv) the deferral of certain previously planned non-essential capital investments and (v) the implementation of a temporary freeze on future acquisitions. While we have implemented cost savings measures to address the decreased level of service activity, we continue to incur higher operating costs and reduced leverage associated with labor, vehicle and facility costs for service operations that are not being fully utilized, as well as, increased bad debt expense due to bankruptcy of, and increased collectability risk from, some of our customers. We have not made any adjustments for these impacts in our reported results or in calculating our various non-GAAP measures. We have also incurred other costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic which are direct, incremental and not expected to recur once the pandemic ends, primarily associated with the purchase of personal protective equipment for our employees, increased cleaning costs and legal and professional fees. We have excluded these costs in calculating our various non-GAAP measures. We can provide no assurance that the cost savings measures we have taken, or may take in future periods, will be sufficient to offset any future service level declines, and we continue to evaluate additional cost saving measures as additional information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and the related economic downturn become known.

Labor

On a constant dollar basis, labor expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by $32.0 million, or 8.0%, compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by lower labor expenses in our Global RIM Business segment, reflecting cost containment actions taken in response to lower service activity levels in the second quarter of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by incremental labor costs associated with recent acquisitions in our Global RIM Business segment.


56


Facilities

On a constant dollar basis, facilities expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased by $14.3 million, or 4.2%, compared to the prior year period, driven by increases in rent expense, in part due to recent acquisitions in our Global RIM Business segment, as well as higher property taxes and utility costs, partially offset by lower insurance and building maintenance costs.

Transportation

On a constant dollar basis, transportation expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by $14.4 million, or 17.7%, compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by lower third-party carrier costs and fuel costs, reflecting cost containment actions taken in response to lower service activity levels in the second quarter of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Product Cost of Sales and Other

Product cost of sales and other, which includes cartons, media and other service, storage and supply costs and is highly correlated to service revenue streams, particularly project revenues. On a constant dollar basis, product cost of sales and other for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by $3.3 million, or 4.4%, compared to the prior year period. The decrease in product cost of sales and other was primarily driven by lower operating supplies and product costs, reflecting cost containment actions taken in response to lower service activity levels in the second quarter of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

COVID-19 Costs

COVID-19 Costs included in cost of sales were $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and primarily consist of incremental cleaning costs and the purchase of personal protective equipment for our employees.

General and Administrative

On a constant dollar basis, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by $24.3 million, or 8.4%, compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by a decrease in compensation expense and other employee related costs, as well as lower professional fees, reflecting benefits from Project Summit and ongoing cost containment measures.

Sales, Marketing and Account Management

On a constant dollar basis, sales, marketing and account management expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by $14.5 million, or 11.5%, compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by a decrease in compensation expense and other employee related costs, reflecting benefits from Project Summit and ongoing cost containment measures.

Information Technology

On a constant dollar basis, information technology expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by $6.3 million, or 7.3%, compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by a decrease in compensation expense and other employee related costs, as well as lower professional fees, reflecting benefits from Project Summit and ongoing cost containment measures.

Bad Debt Expense

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based on reasonable and supportable forecasts for expected future collectability of our outstanding receivables that is calculated based on our past loss experience, current and prior trends in our aged receivables, current economic and macroeconomic conditions, and specific circumstances of individual receivable balances. We continually monitor our customers' payment activity and make adjustments to the allowance as necessary. Bad debt expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased by $12.4 million on a constant dollar basis compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by increased collectability risk resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

COVID-19 Costs

COVID-19 Costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and primarily consist of legal and professional fees related to actions taken in direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Depreciation and Amortization

Our depreciation and amortization charges result primarily from depreciation related to storage systems, which include racking structures, buildings, building and leasehold improvements and computer systems hardware and software. Amortization relates primarily to customer relationship intangible assets, contract fulfillment costs and data center lease-based intangible assets. Both depreciation and amortization are impacted by the timing of acquisitions.

Depreciation expense decreased $1.7 million, or 0.7%, on a reported dollar basis for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. See Note 2.f. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report for additional information regarding the useful lives over which our property, plant and equipment is depreciated.

Amortization expense increased $1.3 million, or 1.3%, on a reported dollar basis for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Restructuring Charges

Restructuring Charges for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were approximately $80.3 million and primarily consist of employee severance, internal costs associated with the development and implementation of Project Summit initiatives and professional fees.
 
Intangible impairments

The intangible impairment charge for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $23.0 million and related to the write-down of goodwill associated with our Fine Arts reporting unit in the first quarter of 2020, as discussed above.

Gain on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net

Consolidated gain on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $7.8 million. The gain for the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily consisted of gains associated with the sale of certain land and buildings in the United Kingdom of approximately $36.0 million in the second quarter of 2019. These gains were partially offset by losses primarily associated with (i) an impairment charge on the assets associated with the select offerings within our Iron Mountain Iron Cloud portfolio of approximately $24.0 million and (ii) the write-down of certain property, plant and equipment in our Global RIM Business segment of approximately $3.1 million.

OTHER EXPENSES, NET

Interest Expense, Net

Consolidated interest expense, net increased $1.3 million, or 0.7%, to $209.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $207.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was mainly driven by higher average debt outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2020. See Note 5 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding our indebtedness.

Foreign Currency Transaction Losses (Gains)

We recorded net foreign currency transaction gains of $35.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, based on period-end exchange rates. These gains resulted primarily from the impact of changes in the exchange rate of the British pound sterling against the United States dollar compared to December 31, 2019 on our intercompany balances with and between certain of our subsidiaries.

We recorded net foreign currency transaction gains of $1.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, based on period-end exchange rates. These gains resulted primarily from the impact of changes in the exchange rate of the British pound sterling against the United States dollar compared to December 31, 2018 on our intercompany balances with and between certain of our subsidiaries. These gains were partially offset by losses primarily from the impact of changes in the exchange rate of the Euro against the United States dollar compared to December 31, 2018 on our intercompany balances with and between certain of our subsidiaries.

Debt Extinguishment Expense

During the second quarter of 2020, we recorded debt extinguishment expense of $17.0 million comprised of the call premium associated with the early redemption of the 6% Notes due 2023, as well as the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the early redemption of the 43/8% Notes and the 6% Notes due 2023 (both as defined and described below).

Other, net

Included in Other, net are losses on certain of our equity method investments, which are partially offset by a gain of approximately $10.0 million recorded during the first quarter of 2020 in connection with our acquisition of the remaining 75% equity interest in OSG Records Management (Europe) Limited ("OSG" and such acquisition, the "OSG Acquisition"), as our previously held 25% equity investment in OSG was remeasured to fair value at the closing date of the OSG Acquisition.

Provision for Income Taxes

We provide for income taxes during interim periods based on our estimate of the effective tax rate for the year. Discrete items and changes in our estimate of the annual effective tax rate are recorded in the period they occur. Our effective tax rate is subject to variability in the future due to, among other items: (1) changes in the mix of income between our qualified REIT subsidiaries and our domestic taxable REIT subsidiaries, as well as among the jurisdictions in which we operate; (2) tax law changes; (3) volatility in foreign exchange gains and losses; (4) the timing of the establishment and reversal of tax reserves; and (5) our ability to utilize net operating losses that we generate.

Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we had a provision for income taxes of $9.7 million and income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes of $2.6 million; as such, our effective tax rate is not meaningful.
(2)
The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% and our overall effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were the benefit derived from the dividends paid deduction and the impact of differences in the tax rates at which our foreign earnings are subject, including foreign exchange gains and losses in different jurisdictions with different tax rates.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, reported revenue in our Global RIM Business segment decreased 8.1%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, due to organic revenue declines and unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by the favorable impact of acquisitions. The organic revenue decline of 7.5% was primarily the result of organic service revenue declines of 22.0%. Our reported service revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2020 were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily due to decreases in our service activity, particularly in regions where governments have imposed restrictions on non-essential business operations. Organic storage rental revenue growth of 2.0% was driven by revenue management. The impact of acquisitions contributed 1.9% to the reported revenue growth rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the prior year period. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations decreased our reported revenue growth rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 by 2.5%, compared to the prior year period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, reported revenue in our Global RIM Business segment decreased 3.5%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, due to organic revenue declines and unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by the favorable impact of acquisitions. The organic revenue decline of 3.5% was primarily the result of organic service revenue declines of 12.0%, mainly driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by organic storage rental revenue growth of 2.0% driven by revenue management. The impact of acquisitions contributed 2.3% to the reported revenue growth rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the prior year period. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations decreased our reported revenue growth rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 by 2.3%, compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased 220 basis points during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by benefits from Project Summit, ongoing cost containment measures and revenue management.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, reported revenue in our Corporate and Other Business segment decreased 13.4% compared to the prior year period, primarily due to organic service revenue declines. The organic service revenue decline reflects lower service activity levels in our Fine Arts business, primarily related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Adjusted EBITDA in our Corporate and Other Business segment increased $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the prior year period reflecting benefits from Project Summit and ongoing cost containment measures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

COVID-19

While we have broad geographic and customer diversification with operations in approximately 50 countries, and no single customer accounting for more than 1% of our revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2020, COVID-19 is a global pandemic impacting numerous industries and geographies. While we do not currently believe that the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic have had a material adverse impact on our ability to collect our accounts receivable, global economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic may have a material adverse effect on our customers, which could impact our future ability to collect our accounts receivable. We continue to monitor the credit worthiness of our customers and customer payment trends, as well as the related impact on our liquidity.

Project Summit

As disclosed above, in October 2019, we announced Project Summit. We estimate that the implementation of Project Summit will result in total costs of $450.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred approximately $82.4 million of costs related to Project Summit which were comprised of $80.3 million of Restructuring Charges, primarily related to employee severance costs, internal costs associated with the development and implementation of Project Summit initiatives and professional fees, and $2.1 million of capital expenditures.

a.    Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash flows provided by operating activities increased by $9.3 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in cash from working capital of $52.3 million, primarily related to the timing of collections of accounts receivable and certain prepaid and accrued expenses, partially offset by a decrease in net income (including non-cash charges) of $43.0 million.

b.    Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Our significant investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 are highlighted below:

We paid cash for acquisitions (net of cash acquired) of $118.5 million, primarily funded by borrowings under our revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility").
We paid cash for capital expenditures of $200.2 million. Our business requires capital expenditures to maintain our ongoing operations, support our expected revenue growth and new products and services, and increase our profitability. All of these expenditures are included in the cash flows from investing activities. Additional details of our capital spending are included in the Capital Expenditures section below.
We acquired customer relationships and incurred both (i) customer inducements (which primarily consist of permanent withdrawal fees) and (ii) Contract Fulfillment Costs (as defined in Note 2.b. to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report) during the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $2.9 million, $7.0 million and $18.7 million, respectively.

The Current portion of long-term debt as of June 30, 2020 includes $755.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 53/4% Notes. The $755.0 million presented within the Current portion of long-term debt represents the portion of the 53/4% Notes we redeemed on July 2, 2020 utilizing funds that were received from the June 2020 Offerings (as defined and described below) and temporarily invested in money market funds as of June 30, 2020.

See Note 4 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report and Note 5 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding our long-term debt.

June 2020 Offerings

On June 22, 2020, IMI completed private offerings of (i) $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 5% Notes, (ii) $1,300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 51/4% Notes due 2030 and (iii) $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 55/8% Notes (collectively, the "June 2020 Offerings"). The 5% Notes, the 51/4% Notes due 2030 and the 55/8% Notes were issued at 100.000% of par. The total net proceeds of approximately $2,376.0 million from the June 2020 Offerings, after deducting the initial purchasers' commissions, were used to redeem all of the 43/8% Notes, the 6% Notes due 2023 and the 53/4% Notes and to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. Pending the redemption of the 53/4% Notes, as of June 30, 2020, a portion of the proceeds from the June 2020 Offerings were used to temporarily repay outstanding borrowings under our Accounts Receivable Securitization Program and invest in money market funds.

On June 29, 2020, we redeemed all of the $500.0 million in aggregate principal outstanding of the 43/8% Notes at 100.000% of par and all of the $600.0 million in aggregate principal outstanding of the 6% Notes due 2023 at 102.000% of par, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. We recorded a charge of $17.0 million to Other expense (income), net during the second quarter of 2020 related to the early extinguishment of this debt, representing the call premium associated with the early redemption of the 6% Notes due 2023, as well as a write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the early redemption of the 43/8% Notes and the 6% Notes due 2023.

On July 2, 2020, we redeemed all of the outstanding 53/4% Notes at 100.958% of par, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. A debt extinguishment charge of approximately $15.3 million will be recorded to Other expense (income), net during the third quarter of 2020 related to the extinguishment of this debt representing the call premium and write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

On March 31, 2020, we amended the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program to (i) increase the maximum amount available from $275.0 million to $300.0 million and (ii) extend the maturity date from July 30, 2020 to July 30, 2021, at which point all obligations become due. As a result, the full amount outstanding is classified within the long-term portion of long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2020. The interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2020 was 1.1%. The full amount outstanding under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program is classified within the current portion of long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019. The maximum available borrowings is limited by eligible accounts receivable, as defined under the terms of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.

Letters of Credit

As of June 30, 2020, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $33.6 million, of which $3.2 million reduce our borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. The letters of credit expire at various dates between September 2020 and January 2033.

Debt Covenants

The Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 5 to Notes of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report), our bond indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness contain certain restrictive financial and operating covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to complete acquisitions, pay cash dividends, incur indebtedness, make investments, sell assets and take certain other corporate actions. The covenants do not contain a rating trigger. Therefore, a change in our debt rating would not trigger a default under the Credit Agreement, our bond indentures or other agreements governing our indebtedness. The Credit Agreement requires that we satisfy a fixed charge coverage ratio, a net total lease adjusted leverage ratio and a net secured debt lease adjusted leverage ratio on a quarterly basis and our bond indentures require that, among other things, we satisfy a leverage ratio (not lease adjusted) or a fixed charge coverage ratio (not lease adjusted), as a condition to taking actions such as paying dividends and incurring indebtedness.

The Credit Agreement uses EBITDAR-based calculations and the bond indentures use EBITDA-based calculations as the primary measures of financial performance for purposes of calculating leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The bond indenture EBITDA-based calculations include our consolidated subsidiaries, other than those we have designated as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries” as defined in the bond indentures. Generally, the Credit Agreement and the bond indentures use a trailing four fiscal quarter basis for purposes of the relevant calculations and require certain adjustments and exclusions for purposes of those calculations which make the calculation of financial performance for purposes of those calculations under the Credit Agreement and bond indentures not directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein. These adjustments can be significant. The calculation of financial performance under the Credit Agreement and the 47/8% Notes due 2029 includes (subject to specified exceptions and caps), for example, adjustments for non-cash charges and for expected benefits associated with (i) completed acquisitions, (ii) certain executed lease agreements associated with our data center business that have yet to commence, and (iii) restructuring and other strategic initiatives, such as Project Summit. The calculation of financial performance under our other bond indentures includes, for example, adjustments for non-cash charges and for expected benefits associated with (i) completed acquisitions, and (ii) to exclude the effects of events that are extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios under the Credit Agreement and our indentures as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

December 31, 2019

The maximum leverage ratio permitted under our indentures for the GBP Notes, the 47/8% Notes due 2027, the 51/4% Notes due 2028 and the 47/8% Notes due 2029 is 7.0, while the maximum leverage ratio permitted under the indentures for the CAD Notes, the 53/4% Notes, the Euro Notes, and the 53/8% Notes is 6.5. The indentures for the 5% Notes, the 51/4% Notes due 2030 and the 55/8% Notes do not include a maximum leverage ratio covenant; the indentures for these notes instead require us to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 2.0. In certain instances as provided in our indentures, we have the ability to incur additional indebtedness that would result in our bond leverage ratio or bond fixed charge coverage ratio exceeding or falling below the maximum or minimum permitted ratio under our indentures and still remain in compliance with the applicable covenant.

Noncompliance with these leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity.
_______________________________________________________________________________

Our ability to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance, working capital levels and capital structure, which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors which may be beyond our control. There can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient cash flow from our operations or that future financings will be available on acceptable terms or in amounts sufficient to enable us to service or refinance our indebtedness or to make necessary capital expenditures.

Derivative Instruments

In July 2019, we entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness once our current interest rate swap agreements expire in March 2022. The forward-starting interest rate swap agreements have $350.0 million in notional value, commence in March 2022 and expire in March 2024. Under the swap agreements we will receive variable rate interest payments based upon one-month LIBOR, in exchange for the payment of fixed interest rate payments at the rates specified in the interest rate swap agreements. We have designated these interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges.

In August 2019, we entered into cross-currency swap agreements to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the United States dollar and the Euro. Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreements, we notionally exchanged approximately $110.0 million at an interest rate of 6.0% for approximately 99.1 million Euros at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.65%. The cross-currency swap agreements, which expire in August 2023, are designated as a hedge of net investment against certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries and require an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity. We have designated these cross-currency swap agreements as net investment hedges.

See Note 3 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information on our derivative instruments.

Equity Financing

As described in greater detail in Note 12 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report, in October 2017, we entered into a distribution agreement with a syndicate of 10 banks (the “Agents”) pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $500.0 million of our common stock through the Agents (the “At The Market (ATM) Equity Program”). During the six months ended June 30, 2020, there were no shares of common stock sold under the At The Market (ATM) Equity Program. As of June 30, 2020, the remaining aggregate sale price of shares of our common stock available for distribution under the At The Market (ATM) Equity Program was approximately $431.2 million.

Acquisitions

See Note 4 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for information regarding our 2020 acquisitions.

a.    OSG Acquisition

On January 9, 2020, we completed the OSG Acquisition for cash consideration of approximately $95.5 million. The OSG Acquisition enabled us to extend our Global RIM Business in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Armenia. The results of OSG are fully consolidated within our condensed consolidated financial statements from the closing date of the OSG Acquisition.

b.    Glenbeigh Acquisition

On February 17, 2020, in order to enhance our existing operations in the United Arab Emirates, we acquired Glenbeigh Records Management DWC-LLC, a storage and records management company, for total cash consideration of 107.0 million United Arab Emirates dirham (or approximately $29.1 million, based upon the exchange rate between the United Arab Emirates dirham and the United States dollar on the closing date of the acquisition).

c.    MakeSpace Capital Contribution

During 2019, we contributed our customer contracts and certain intellectual property and other assets, including $20.0 million in cash consideration (gross of certain transaction expenses), to MakeSpace Labs, Inc. to form a joint venture entity (the “MakeSpace JV”), a consumer storage services provider. We account for our investment in the MakeSpace JV as an equity method investment, which is presented as a component of Other within Other assets, net in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.


70


In the second quarter of 2020, we committed to participate in a round of equity funding for the MakeSpace JV whereby we will contribute $36.0 million of the $45.0 million being raised (the “Additional Investment”). Our first contribution of the Additional Investment of $7.0 million was made in May 2020 (the “First Installment”). We will make the remaining contributions in quarterly installments through October 2021. After the First Installment, our equity interest in the MakeSpace JV increased to approximately 37%. After completion of the Additional Investment, we expect our equity interest in the MakeSpace JV will be approximately 46%. The carrying value of our investment in the MakeSpace JV at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $17.7 million and $18.6 million, respectively.

Contractual Obligations

We expect to meet our cash flow requirements for the next twelve months by utilizing cash on hand, cash generated from operations, borrowings under the Credit Agreement and other financings (including the issuance of equity under the At The Market (ATM) Equity Program). We expect to meet our long-term cash flow requirements using the same resources described above. We are currently operating above our long-term targeted leverage ratio and expect to reduce our leverage ratio over time through business growth and effective capital allocation strategies.

Inflation

Certain of our expenses, such as wages and benefits, insurance, occupancy costs and equipment repair and replacement, are subject to normal inflationary pressures. Although to date we have been able to offset inflationary cost increases with increased operating efficiencies, the negotiation of favorable long-term real estate leases and an ability to increase prices in our customer contracts (many of which contain provisions for inflationary price escalators), we can give no assurance that we will be able to offset any future inflationary cost increases through similar efficiencies, leases or increased storage rental or service charges.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The term "disclosure controls and procedures" is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These rules refer to the controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information is recorded, processed, accumulated, summarized, communicated and reported to management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding what is required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act. As of June 30, 2020 (the "Evaluation Date"), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In March 2020, many of our employees began working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have not implemented any material changes in our internal control over financial reporting due to the changes in the way we are working. We are monitoring and assessing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic to determine any potential impacts on the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.

Part II.    Other Information

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

We did not sell any unregistered equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2020, nor did we repurchase any shares of our common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Item 5. Other Information

Disclosure Pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act

Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 and Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act require an issuer to disclose in its annual and quarterly reports whether it or any of its affiliates have knowingly engaged in certain activities, including specified activities or transactions relating to the Government of Iran (as defined in section 560.304 of title 31 of the Code of Federal Regulations) and to persons designated under Executive Order No. 13382 (70 Fed. Reg. 38567). In the March 31, 2020 Quarterly Report, we reported that we had determined that one of our non-U.S. subsidiaries provided limited hard copy record, electronic media (e.g., CD), box and container storage and handling services during such quarter, and in prior periods since the reporting requirement took effect, to at least one Government of Iran entity and one entity designated under Executive Order No. 13382 - both located outside of Iran. 

We also reported in the March 31, 2020 Quarterly Report that we had notified the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of these limited activities and initiated an internal investigation, and, during that investigation, we had identified two additional customer relationships between the subsidiary in question and entities designated under Executive Order No. 13382 and Executive Order No. 13224, neither of which was active and ongoing during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. As further disclosed in the March 31, 2020 Quarterly Report, we intend to cooperate with OFAC in its review of this matter.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the subsidiary in question notified both entities with active relationships identified during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 of its decision to terminate those relationships. Because we consider property held in storage for these two entities to be blocked property under regulations administered by OFAC, the subsidiary in question continues to hold the boxes and will do so in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The subsidiary has not engaged in any other activity with the entities during the period covered by this report. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the subsidiary in question received cash of less than 2,000 British pounds sterling from one of the entities due to activities performed and invoiced prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The subsidiary is treating this money as blocked property. Consistent with the disclosure contained in the March 31, 2020 Quarterly Report, we do not intend to continue any activity involving the entities in question.

We plan to submit a more detailed report to OFAC at the conclusion of our internal investigation and will continue to cooperate fully with OFAC in its ongoing review of this matter.

Moreover, we continue to review, and intend to enhance, as necessary or appropriate, our policies and processes designed to identify transactions associated with restricted parties, and to comply with the disclosure requirements of Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act.
